It’s been an exciting few months for Survival Training South Africa. Is it my imagination or is everyone just getting busier and busier? It seems that wherever you go or whatever your interests are in life, there’s just not much chance to just sit back, relax and reflect; everyone is just too busy, including us! It’s certainly the case that as our courses start to rattle by there’s less time to write these newsletters and more excuses to procrastinate.

In this November issue I include a write-up by Chris Crewdson describing a course that we ran for a Magnetic South/SanParks team in preparation for this years fantastic Otter African Trail Run.

Additionally, Wellington College from the UK recently spent some time in South Africa during the English schools half term and one of the first things they did on arrival was a Survival Course with STSA. Good logic if you ask me. I include an excellent piece by Neil Lunnon, the leader of the School group, describing the course that he and 30 pupils from the school took part in. Additional testimonials from the pupils will be included on our website as a reference for other schools interested in our courses and Nathan has added course photos to the various galleries on Facebook and on our website.

Finally, a beautiful article written by Michelle Luyt (a participant on our Basic Course) who describes how the priorities learned in Survival Training translate into everyday living, if you can just slow down a little and take note of the things that really matter.
